still bleeding do i eally need antibiotics?

Kayla is now 5 weeks old i had nealy stoped bleeding at 2-3 weeks but still spoted some each day but las week a few day i bleed a little heavy on and off almost ike a period so i made an appointment with my doc who did a swab to see it i have an infection in the mean time she gave me antibotics just in case . The results wont be back till later next week so she said to start them now or wait till the results come back it was my choice when i got home and read the leflet it said you may have to stop feeding while taking the tablets which i cant do with a 5 week old so i have not started them yet i rang the doc and two different pharmacvies to see what the have to say and have been looking online for an answer but everyone had a different opinion what do you think also the bleeding could be normal for me as i bleed for 14 weeks after my first 7 weeks after my second 16 days then  spopped a week afterr my misscarriage so maybe its just me should i hold of the tables till the rresults come back

Are you anemic?  I'd try taking some iron suppliments, and see if it's stops!

Sorry! I don't have any advice for you. Hopefully the antibiotics start working and that the bleeding stops!

If it were me PERSONALLY I would wait for the results.  With my kids I bled for 6-7 weeks...I'd have days of just barely spotting and go back to full flow.
